Abstract

The emphasis of this paper lies in the development of an efficient approach to reproduce the behaviors of the scramjet-powered hypersonic system with high fidelity. The modeling of the dual-mode scramjet powered hypersonic vehicle dynamics with shock interaction, Ram-to-Scram transition, and finite rate chemistry reaction is firstly introduced. The structure of surrogate model is identified with the implement of iterative fractional factorial design (IFFD). In order to declare the reliability of the surrogate models, ν -gap metric is applied to distinguish the difference among these surrogate models in terms of closed-loop performance. The results show that the influence of Mach number on the aerodynamics should not be overlooked, and the effect of propulsion system to the aerodynamic pitch moment is dramatic. Further, the partial Kriging model appears to have the closest plants throughout the flight envelope compared with the full Kriging model and polynomials model. Nevertheless, considering the briefness of analytical expression, the polynomials model may be an alternative approach for design-oriented modeling.
